- Election Finance Reform
 - 
Effective election finance reform demands that we limit the amounts any single entity or individual may contribute to political campaigns, whether the contributions go directly to a candidate, to a political party or to a political action committee (PAC).
 - Healthcare for All
 - 
All Americans deserve access to affordable health care.  The Medicare system should be expanded to serve us all, not just our seniors.

Women's rights, including reproductive and abortion rights, must be absolutely guaranteed.
